THE OMAHA VALUATION NOW CERTIFIED Secretary Bennett of Bute Board Ahead of Bnmored Injunction. ' RAILROADS DID NOT TRY TO ENJOIN Threaten! Fight Bftwrti Eatna, Halasha and Dearie Tint Likely te Materialise and They Will ftfaad on Record Made. (from a Btafl Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June . (Hpeclal.) Secre tary Bennett of the Mate board of assess ment hnii certified to the county clerks the valuation of the Mr railroads, having completed the work lute Saturday after noon, It has been repeatedly reported In a local paper that too Union Pacific was working Its legal department overtime to aet out an Injunction to prevent Secretary Dennett from attending to this llttla de tail of Ills work, but If such was the caso the Injunction will coma too late, as the wu-k Is already done. tt looks now that the thieainod fight between Eaton, Oalusha and Bearle would not occur, .but that each would stand on hit record without furthei explanation. Searlo, Mickey and Morfnscn worked to gether almost constr.ntly In figuring up the valuation and before the final vote was taken these three stood very close to gether. Most of the figuring woe done by Searle and the assessment was leigely worked out or. the basin of his figures. He opposed the reduction of the Ilurllngton and at the same time did not believe the Union Faclflc should be assessed at .113. oro, It was reported that the Union Fa cifld brought all possible press-ar to bear on Ersrle to get him ' to stand for the assessment of last year, and the fact that ha couldn't see t'.lnga ttwwt way after studying the returns of the rood greatly strengthens the position taken by Mickey ami Mortenen and at the same time they give Bcarle much credit for what he did. Crank misses Mickey. A real live crank, with Governor Mickey his objective point, was at the state house late Saturday afternoon. . The rovernor's oflW was locked and the crank accosted Don Dcspain, who was passing. "I want to see the governor," he told Desain. "WBut lo you want with him?" asked tha eagle-eyed chief and only clerk In the labor bureau, scenting trouble. "I am commissioned by tha people to see him and aee him I will," retorted the crank. "Ha must not let Sweden run over Norway. Norway, must be free and the governor must see to that she gets a square deal. 'Ha can stop all the trouble over there If he will. I want to tell him to do It and If ha refuses then look out for me, for I am the people." Despaln, who Is not only hefty but a diplomat aa well, told the man the governor was. not in town, and then Invited him to take a walk. What became of the crank la not known, as Deapain lost him In tha busy bustle of O street. Governor Mickey left yesterday afternoon for Osceola, whre he spent today. He ex pect to come back to Lincoln Monday. New Deal In school Levy. .Tomorrow Is the day school district offi cers get together to vote the school levy to certify to the county clerk.

NEW TEN-DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT Ostensibly Issued by n Sewr York Bank, It I Uood Enough to l'ass Master. A new counterfeit 110 certificate or bank note has put In Its appearance, and aeema to have been pretty well distributed through the central west.

The treasury and bank number have had red ink applied to them, apparently with a pen. No effort has been made to color the panel containing the charter number or th back of th note. It should be easily detected. W. H. MORAN, Assistant Chief. Draper Tackles New Life. The latest recruit In the -ranks of the Sal vation army is Charles Draper, a youth of some IV years. Lrsper has been for some months past a regular caller at the police station, where he told the officials he would rather be , than anywhere else, lt was he who broks all the windows in the Bemls Bag company's factory one night last winter In order that he might be put in Jail. He was aqcommodated and ?or several months after he received his mall regularly at the cltr bastlle. It is said that Draper got r.Snlon by the merest chance. He was walking along Sixteenth street one evening and heard the singing of one of the army tattles and was so smit ten by her sweet volte that he then and there resolved to berime a member of the organisation. This hrpened several weeks ago and now Draper Is dressed In the full uniform of an any officer and Is taking an active interest In th work of the soldiers of the arm. He says he likes his new location and hopes that the police officials do not mist him from the sta ro far as they relate to any action had ty myself or the Reorganlxed church, and the only theory occurring to my mind which offers any excuse for such a tirade, either against the Reorganised church or myself as Its trustee, Is that John M. Macfarland, referred to, Is possibly an elder or member of the polygamous church of Utah, and that he, with his Utah relations, have taken this plan to renew their bitter fight against the Reorganised church of the Latter Day Saints because of the latter' battle against polygamy and Its associate evils. Mr. Oeorgo H. Miller, the stepson, in troduced to me as such by Mr. Jones him self, wa an entire stranger to m until upon the earnest solicitation of Mr. Jones and hi wife, made direct to me by several urgent letters of Mr. Jones, I went to Omaha to arrange property interests be tween them. Mr. Miller, at the time, I found to be an honest appearing, hard working man, and if I remember rightly, a member of the Methodist church. Mr. Jones and his wife at the time were fully competent to transact their own business and directed the same regardless of Mr. Miller or any one else, to my knowledge, and it was arranged under Mr. Jones direct supervision. Mr. Miller was to have one of the houses, a niece of Mr. Jones In Utah another and a third upon the death of Mr. Jones and his wife to the Reorgan ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, they to retain possession and have the use and benefits during their lives or of either of them. The church has never taken possession nor received aa yet. to my knowledge any benefit from the trans fer, but hss, fin the contrary, paid to Mr. Jones and his wife several hundred dollars to their benefit and comfort. The reflections In your paper seem to le quite a common reward of the churches. Let them do through their officers and min isters all posqfble to aid their members, and because a few dollars has been left them, although a wholly Inadequate com pensation for the services rendered the parties, they are at once mode the subject of attack and misrepresentation by persons who seem willing to affirm anything In the hope of gaining a few dollars. The basis of every gift, offering or dona tion to the Reorganized church Is and al ways has been that It must be free and voluntary on the part of theglver; and this Is taught the membership privately and publicly, and for the bishop, trustee or any other officer to act contrary to this funda mental principle he would not only fall to discharge his duty, but be an actual trans holds and teaches It, and the claim at any time that the church or its officers has taken advantage of anyone, either saint or sinner, to obtain his property during his lifetime or after his death In an Improper way may be safely written down as a slander of the basest sort. Other assertions made in the article ara wholly false so far as my knowledge ex tends. I trust that you will do me the Justice of Inserting In both your dally and weekly Issues this hurried reply, or at on early time correct fully in your own way the Injurious statements. E. L. KELLEV.

Hagenbecks trained elephants were billed to swim at Lake Manawa yesterday afternoon and that Is why William Mc Hale. on of the employes of the Hagen beck show, appeared at the police station last night with a severe cut 6n the top of his head. There was a crowd at Manawa Sunday afternoon to see the elephants do their stunt, and while waiting for them to appear on the scene Edward Kelley of Council Bluffs vented his wrath on Mc Hale. Kelley picked up a chair that was standing nearby and gave the elephant trainer such a lick across the head that he fell to the ground in an unconscious condition. He was picked up by two of his companions and boarded the street car and at once started for th Omaha police station. Arriving at the city Jail they asked for Dr. Wigton. whom McHale said he had heard of as being one of Omaha a police surgeon. Dr. Wigton dressed ths man s wounds, after which he returned to Council bluffs. His Injury In painful, ai Jhouzh not dangerou Kiiy la )u th Council Bluff Jail. Meetlnar of the Corporation, the Law Alumni and Exercise of the Senior Class on Pro-arrant. NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Jun 25.-President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale this morning delivered the annual baccalaureate address to tho members of th senior class of the university at Woolsey hall. This afternoon and evealng was spent In showing the visitors about the city and tomorrow morning the big Influx of Yale men Is expected. The program will Include meetings of the corporation, the law school alumni and the exercises ot the senior class. President Hadley' topic was the scrip tural text, "Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." He said In part: What was the essential characteristic of the scribes and Pharisees? It was this: Tne scribes and Pharisees made morality and even rellplon a matter of rules and conventlpns. They looked for nothing higher and cared for nothing bet ter than a system of observances which they had Inherited from their fathers. This system was not in Itself a bad one. Why, then, doel devotion to a gond system of rules and observances like that of the Pharisees lead its followers astray? Partly because the practice of relying upon rules and conventions, however good, lessens a man's power of meeting the un foreseen emergencies and crises of life. But even if no emergencies or crises arise which stretch our rules to the break ing point, there Is another and more In sidious series of dangers which beset the man whose morftlltv and relitlon are mat ters of rules alone. The keeping of definite rules produces self-sntlsfaction and self satlsfactlnn is but one step short of moral stagnation. No man, however far and however well he has managed the voyage of life, can afford to rest complacent in what he has achieved. A man of bad antecedents and surround ings who recounir.es that they are bad has greater possibilities than the man who lives under better rules but sees neither need nor room for Improvement. To the college man more than to anyone else this broad view of Christian duty should appeal. He of all mankind h least occasion ror rnansaio complacency. GROWTH OF CITIES IN AREA Expansion the Order of the Day In All Progressive Com munities, The growth of American cities in area Is going on pretty steadily and Is not always reflected by the growth In popula tion.
